The FF wing of SE cannot make an decent action system to save their life. They should just steal from Tales of, Ys, or SE's own Trials of Mana.
I've only played Phantasia and Destiny. I assumed there would have been improvements since then. I hate the character designs in the 3D games.
15 was better than 13. Neither were good, tho.
Final Fantasy has been a complete shitshow since 13. Why is this news?
FFXV is a decent interactive roadmovie. Just ignore the overarching plot and mash through the fights.Both were so shit.
FF13 issue was that for some fucking reason they chopped up story into chapters and then they completely jumbled them up instead of showing them linearly.
Same.I played about 60% thru FF13, basically made it to the "open area" chapter as it was the one thing that kept me going and then when I realized the game was... still shit... I dropped it there.
Based and true.FF10 had good characters, better story, WAY better combat (actually GREAT combat), better art, better world, better aesthetic, you wanted to keep going through the linear corridors in FF10 to reach the next fight, the next cutscene.
How the hell does Tetsuya Nomura still have a job?
Nomura left his position as director of FFXV in September 2014, two years and two months before the game was finally released. At his departure, the game had already been in development hell for several years, keeping in mind that FFXIII suffered extensive delays and that FFXV began development as its adjunct FFXIII Versus, an action RPG. Granted, the game would have been far better served if all previous work had been scrapped and development had started anew, but from Squaresoft's perspective this would have required an unacceptable expenditure and timeframe, so instead they relied on Tabata to create a functional game in two years building from the existing engine and assets.? Nomura lied down whole story of FF13V which became FF15 and moved to KH3. Which if you just read story is great. But then Tabata took over once it became FF15 and they completely butchered everything.How the hell does Tetsuya Nomura still have a job?
Nomura story was simple. 2 kingdoms duking it out and between that love story of prince and princess of those kingdoms all in modern world souse.
In the end due to Tabata you got one kingdom anihilating other one instantly and gay trip ? And then they remembered original story and somehow doing nothing they wanted you to care about it or something.
It is just a fucking chore to play through with no reprieve from any quarter and nothing to distract you from the terribleness.
All that said I actually don't see the linearity to be that bad, it's mostly the same as FF10 the difference is FF10 had good characters, better story, WAY better combat (actually GREAT combat), better art, better world, better aesthetic, you wanted to keep going through the linear corridors in FF10 to reach the next fight, the next cutscene. That's the difference.
Wasn't that what everyone expected before release? FF is a dead franchise that just keeps getting new entries based on inertia. And said new titles are seen more as tech engine demos than games that are going to be fun.
